The plastic tree in the living room - out of love for the environment? Over the years, the artificial tree has beaten the real tree in terms of eco-balance, but that is by no means the whole story when it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of both variants.

And then there is the Christmas tree in a container - the official name for the Christmas tree in a pot. And this is currently en vogue in Switzerland. Not buying, but renting, and having a clear conscience at the same time.

Sounds good, but only makes sense if you are not traveling over the holidays and have a balcony or terrace. After a few days at room temperature, the potted tree needs fresh air, otherwise the spruce will be ruined.

At the end of the day, the question remains: artificial or real tree?

"Bluewin" took a close look at both options for you. We were surprised by the result ourselves.
